some of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown. step 3: –c b^2/4a=a(x^2 b/ax b^2/4a62) step 4a: –c b^2/4

a=a(x b/2a)^2 step 4b: -4ac/4a b2/4a=a(x b/2a)^2 which best explains or justifies step 4b? -factoring a polynomial -multiplication property of equality -converting to a common denominator -addition property of equality

Answer:  (c) converting to a common denominator.

Step-by-step explanation: Our quadratic equation ax^{2} +bx+c=0,~a\neq 0 can be solved as follows -

ax^{2} +bx+c=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^{2} +\dfrac{b}{a}x+\dfrac{c}{a}=0,~\textup{since}~a\neq 0\\\\\Rightarrow x^{2} +\dfrac{b}{a}x=-\dfrac{c}{a}\\\\\Rightarrow x^{2} +2\times \dfrac{b}{2a}+\dfrac{b^2}{4a^2}=\dfrac{b^2}{4a^2}-\dfrac{c}{a}\\\\\Rightarrow (x+\dfrac{b}{2a})^2=\dfrac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}\\\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{b}{2a}=\dfrac{\pm\sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

So, according to the given information, the step 4b explains the process of conversion of the terms on both sides to make the denominators same.

Thus, the correct option is (c) converting to a common denominator.

-converting to a common denominator

The terms -c of the left side was converted to -4ac/4a to have the same denominator of b^2/4a.

6=x/4-8 for x what equation do you get after adding 8 to each side
Lena [83]

Answer:

After adding 8 you get  14 = x/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

6=x/4-8  Add 8 to both sides:

6 + 8 = x/4 - 8 + 8

14 = x/4

x = 4*14

x = 56.

Find the distance of GF if G(9,1) and F (0,2)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

9.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula for points on a graph is basically the Pythagorean Theorem

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Plug in the values and you'll get √82, which equals about 9.05539, or 9.06

Suppose you want to accumulate $25,000 as down payment on a house and the best you can do is to put aside $200 a month. If you d
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

It will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Future value of money, FV = $25,000

investment per compound period, P = $200

interest rate, i = 0.75% x 12 = 9%

The number of monthly installments required to amount to FV is given by;

n = \frac{ln(FVi +cp)-ln(cp)}{ln(c+i)-ln(c)}\\\\ n = \frac{ln(25000*0.09 +200*12)-ln(200*12)}{ln(12+0.09)-ln(12)}\\\\n = \frac{8.4446 -7.7832}{2.4924-2.4849}\\\\n = 88.2 \ months

Therefore, it will take 88.2 months to accumulate the amount.
